[WSA2025 Entry]
Five hundred years ago, the world changed forever. Dungeons emerged, mythological beasts roamed the lands, new and old races surfaced, and long-lost continents rose to the surface from the depths. Along with these changes came the mysterious opportunity to gain power, to Awaken, granting extraordinary abilities to those chosen by the system.
But not everyone was chosen.
Elliot is one of the many such young people who dream to become an Awakened One… but who have yet to succeed.
Despite that, he is different.
Though mocked and despised by the world for being one of the Rejected–those ignored by the System—Elliot’s desire for power never faded. While others falter, he presses on.
His desire for power burns so fiercely that not even constant rejection can extinguish it.
And then, one fateful day, everything changes.
The long-awaited day arrives, Elliot finally Awakened. And when the System grants him abilities, it does so with a force that shakes the very foundations of the world, allowing him to take a step on the path to greatness, receiving an amazing and unique class unlike any other.
Although being surrounded by enemies and dangers from all sides, his unbreakable will and intense desire for power allow him to look beyond the limits of his eyes as he rises above the world and claims Glory.
Hello, author here. This is my entry to this year's WSA. With more than 30 chapters published, I already have to do a review, but I don't have much to say. It's a novel with Mystery, Adventures, Dungeon Adventures, Single FL, and many other things. It's focused on action, featuring political intrigues in the future and a slightly different power system (due to the energy), with a Scale based on Stat Points. This story combines the Fantasy we all know of adventure and action, revenge and similar things, with eSports-style Competitions, but with repercussions in real life since everything happens in real life (that's why it's Game World's Awakening). It takes place in a gigantic world, with lost continents and islands that have resurfaced, and powerful adversaries who want to reach The Glory. I was inspired by Solo Leveling and a part of Combat Continent to make it, but only in specific situations (The protagonist's power and Team Competitions, respectively). If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. Thanks for reading.
Just want to say the dude in the cover is very very handsome. Btw, I’m straight. Just saying…😂
As of now where I'm currently at (chapter 11) I have found the story enjoyable, it was off to a great start and has continued to be great so far, keep it up author.
Great name, great execution, and I'm sure the plot is gonna be super good too! I'll give it a read and see, but judging from the author's previous works I know he's going to deliver!
